The Captain's Sculpture, parts 152 - 155

 
152. I am the kind of man who has spent his entire live trying to avoid getting food on my clothes.


153. I was the kind of child whose face was often cleaned in public, by my mother using saliva and a handkerchief.


154. I lived that kind of a life where the event of ketchup escaping from a hamburger, and falling on a clean shirt was considered a disaster.


155. If ketchup falls on your shirt, there is nothing to do but go back home immediately and change your clothes. Therefore, at 65 years of age, there was never a moment when I had not been on edge, not to make a mess.
